'''Nestoridae''', consisting of '''kea''' and '''kākā''', is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[Parrot|parrots]] from [[New Zealand]] and [[Norfolk Island]], [[Australia]]. They are in the superfamily [[New Zealand parrot|Strigopoidea]], which also includes the living [[kākāpō]] (''Strigops habroptilus'') and the fossil species ''[[Heracles inexpectatus]].'' |
|||
<!-- May 2022: Many other Wikipedia articles related to taxonomic families of birds, mammals, reptiles, etc. are very long, detailed, and well-sourced. I hope that this article for the kea and kākā family will eventually reach that standard. Good places to start are adding an authority in the taxobox, adding references, adding more information, and adding more photos. The articles for "New Zealand parrot," "Nestor (genus)," and "Nelepsittacus" might help. However, this article should ultimately have a distinct focus from any existing Wikipedia article. |
